Remember when you were little...?
Just a little bit of rememberance from when I was a child that I stumbled over today.
Ah I've had a lovely day today. Just been pretty relaxed...well maybe the morning was slightly chaotic. *Laugh* I had a 'Cellblock Tango' rehersal this morning and we've finally got it fully choreographed, though it ended up I had to take charge and do quite a bit of it myself but at least its done, just in time for friday. However *groan* I ache all over, seriously I didn't know I could knot myself into some of those positions, as for litereally bending over backwards *Rolls eyes* How is it the short ones doing the tricky stunts instead of the leggy limber ones huh? *Laugh* Oh well despite the ache I still had fun and feel good.
Anyway when I got home I relaxed then, which was cool. It started off with me starting to do some writing and that kept me with my nose to the keyboard for a couple of hours until I got into an arguement with my muses about what was going to happen. *Shakes head* Yes I do tend to verbalize when I argue like that as well, my folks have got used to the random yelling and swearing coming from my room and know its best not to disturb me.
Anyway we eventually agreed to move onto a different piece of fiction...one of my original works which I will hopefully get to spend some quality time on now that I've finished school. They kept me happily occupied for a while longer -occasionally getting disturbed by an email- until finally I looked up and around my room and just had to wince.
Now to me my room isn't a mess at the moment. Its more sort of disorganised chaos *wince* well I know where everything is. My revision notes are spread on my floor in their various sections of my room, allowing me to see the whole picture rather than just having them bunched up on my table. I have postit notes stuck all over my walls with key notes from various studies. However, I do have to admit that to the casual observer my room would look like a hurricane had hit it. So to stop my mother going into one of her cleaning fits -Like I mentioned she did before- I reluctantly attempted to arrange my organised 'mess' into an organised 'neatness'. Unfortunatly I didn't really get all that far into my 'tidying'...I was moving files out of a massive box I have so that I could place my papers in it when I stumbled across works I'd written as a child. A massive folder full and on the front of each piece my fathers written how long each story is, how old I was when I wrote it and what the title was.
I was amazed. I found my first every story that was written at the tender age of five (well jointly with my father, he typed and put in grammer I told him what I wanted apparently) and it was thirty A4 pages long, about what seems like a very Wonderland typed of adventure. I had to smile reading it over.
Next I found a whole series of stories that I wrote when I was nine.(This time all by myself!) A trilogy folks! *dances...giggle* I had a surprisingly good time reading them, and have a sudden urge to update them. Each was 33 pages long...I don't know if for a nine year old thats a lot or not but it seems so to me.
I also found a fic that I'd started when I was ten...I'd gotten to about 50 pages until I remember having to give it up because of so much school work. I hate to sound like I'm blowin' my own horn or something but I'm surpised at the sophistication I used at that age. Whether I was simply emulating books I was reading (I've read far beyond my age range all my life.) or whether I just have a flair *Snort-yeah right* I don't really know. I'm just sorry that the computer they were originally on is gone now so I can't correct them on the computer, I've got to start over. But I think I'm going to enjoy the task.
However all this has got me thinking and wanting to ask just a few questions:
1. When did you first start to write...even is it was just some random drabble thing, it counts!
2. What topic have you always seemed to be drawn to. Pure fanfiction or original works? Horror/Comedy....whatever!
3. Am I the only one who pretty much has to listen to music when writing. I find it almost impossible to write with silence surrounding me.
4....ah ok not that many questions *blush* But anything else you wanna mention. Just go ahead. *Smile*

2. *Drools* Mmm, dark characters so, so sexy....oh sorry about that. *Laugh* See I find humor the hardest thing to write, there are so many blooming forms of humor that you can never be sure whether it will work or not. I fret horribly whenever I attempt humor.
3. Really! See that totally boggles my mind, but its cool to find someone who is totally on the other end of the spectrum to me *grin*
4. *Blush* You really liked my CatCF work? Wow, thank you. Theres more behind Wonka's anger but yes you've got some of Wonka's attitude there. =D
*Puppy eyes* You'd really beta for me...*glomp* Why thank you ever so much. I really appreciate it. St. Min used to beta for me but I know she's been pretty busy recently and sorta withdrawn a bit from LJ...just thank you!!! :D *Smooch* I really cannot say thank you enough. lol

4. Yes, I'm curious to find out what's behind his outburst. I just always enjoy seeing him dissatisfied with Charlie.
Oh, if st minority wants to take the job again now that school's out, I'm cool. But I'm available.
